Checks API and pwclient

[Andy Doan]

I was looking at trying to make use of the "checks" API via XMLRPC. The 
first problem I noticed is that the client passes invalid parameters to 
the server, so the command doesn't work. I started to look at fixing 
this, but have gotten bogged down in how this was intended to work.

I'm wondering if there are plans or proposed patches around this 
feature, and if not is there interest in making the feature more usable?

The things I'd like from the API are:

  * list checks for a given patch or maybe list of patches.
  * add a check to a patch

If this sounds sensible, I'd be willing to create a patch-set.
